Dillashaw and Browne via KO.
That's exactly what it is, the injuries. It really depends on whether or not it was the altitude which effected him in the Werdum fight as oppose his body catching up with him. Still, I pick Cain.Surprised to see so many people picking Browne. I think Cain's injuries have people doubting him a lot, but I think he is on a whole other level Browne.
Cain really changed. Both his physical appearance, his strength And cardio is not the same at all. I don't want to insinuate anything, but we all know what happened to all champs at the same time after USADA. Except of course Weidman, I think Cain is the guy most affected. Brown TKO.
I think TJ wins. Decision.

I got Browne winning by KO in the first round. Cain Velasquez is coming off one of those legendary inactive streaks and Browne isn't a very reliable tune up fight. Hard to take down, heavy handed, decent enough cardio. I'm thinking Cain is broken up from the constant injuries, and this is the final nail in the coffin.
I'm picking Assuncao although i'm not terribly confident in that. Dillashaw has a tendency to look weak against guys he can't dance around, I think the barao fight made Dillashaw look like far more of a savage than he actually is, and Assuncao, despite not necessarily overwhelming in any area, is a committed, confident and slick operator. Dillashaw can be frustrated into exchanging and I think that opens up a more level headed Assuncao to steal rounds. Be sure to watch this one on mute, Joe Rogan will not call this one fair.
Cain didn't even fought since it come. You just don't like him because he wrecked someone you like.
Of course I can be wrong, and there can be other resons, but remember how Cain, Rousey, Weidman And Aldo used to look unbeatable, almost inhuman. Then at the exact same time, everyone lost their belt, And looked crappy. All of them also, at the same time started to look all different. Their bodies really changed. Maybe it was the IV ban, maybe they all started training less, maybe it was something else..?I can see how you'd think that, but I disagree...
I think the injuries and ring rust finally caught up to him.
I think Cain will never be as beast as he once was but I don't think drugs are the reason why.

Even more Reasons to pick Browne. Like Rothwell said before the Werdum fight: "Cain is going to have to fight completely different now, after the tests".No he didn't fight. It come right after he fought. You should know better the things you say.
Cain was more rust than anything in his last fight. He also didn't took the training like he should. I think he can lose too, but it wouldn't be because of that.
His body changed because he got injured too much times, and that isn't good for a HW.
Haha cant mess with sea level Cain!Two of the fights I'm most looking forward to.
Velasquez/Browne - Cain starts badly, gets caught/rocked/dropped or something but manages to survive then takes over. 2.5 rounds of caging and dirty boxing Browne, a few takedowns AWAY FROM THE CAGE, lots of relentless ground and pound. Velasquez, UD.
Dillashaw/Assuncao II - A total ass whooping from TJ. I don't think itll even be close, like the first fight. Assuncao hasn't evolved since then IMO, and is coming off a BIG layoff. TJ lays the volume on him and eventually gets a standing stoppage in the second. Dillashaw, TKO (knees and punches), 2nd round.
And I've got Browne by TKO as much as it pains me to say it. Hope im wrong though
I actually truly believe Ronda didn't use PEDs... She focused on too many other things and believed her own hype.
As big of a Weidman fan as I am, I can't deny that he seems insanely smaller and weaker looking.
I think Ronda will be champion again... And the rematch she is only a 40% disadvantage to Holly (just think it's a bad matchup.)
